Pritish Nandy Communications Limited has initiated a postal ballot process to seek shareholder approval for changing its name to PNC Media and Entertainment Limited. The Board of Directors approved the proposal on July 03, 2026, aiming to align the corporate identity with the company's strategic evolution towards a broader media and entertainment ecosystem. The rebranding is intended to better reflect present and future business activities, including content creation, film production, and digital entertainment, while preserving the goodwill associated with the "PNC" acronym.

The proposed change requires the approval of shareholders, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, and other statutory authorities. Consequently, the Board has also approved the alteration of the Name Clause in the Memorandum of Association and the Articles of Association to substitute the existing name with the new one. These alterations are consequential and will become effective upon the issuance of a fresh Certificate of Incorporation by the Registrar of Companies.

Mr Vinayak N Deodhar of V. N. Deodhar & Co., Practicing Company Secretaries, has been appointed as the Scrutinizer to conduct the postal ballot process through remote e-voting. The process ensures a fair and transparent mechanism for shareholders to participate in the decision-making. The resolutions will be passed as Special Resolutions, necessitating a requisite majority for approval.

Shareholders registered as on the cut-off date of July 03, 2026, are eligible to vote. The remote e-voting period commences on July 07, 2026, at 9:00 AM IST and concludes on August 05, 2026, at 5:00 PM IST. The results of the postal ballot, along with the Scrutinizer's Report, will be declared on or before August 07, 2026, and subsequently communicated to the stock exchanges.

Key Postal Ballot Dates

The Registrar of Companies has already approved the reservation of the proposed name via a letter dated June 24, 2026. An independent certificate from B. D. Jokhakar & Co., Chartered Accountants, confirms compliance with the conditions specified under Regulation 45(1) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The certificate notes that the company has not changed its name in the preceding year and that the change is not driven by a new activity or project.

pritish nandy communications has scheduled a board meeting for July 3, 2026, to consider a change of its corporate name and the consequent alterations to its constitutional documents. The meeting, set to take place at the company's registered office at 4:00 p.m., will address the modification of the name clause in the Memorandum of Association and the name in the Articles of Association. These changes require shareholder approval through a postal ballot process.
